In the third and final installment of the series, President Theodore Roosevelt mobilizes the full industrial might of United States to “make the dirt fly” in Panama and succeed where the French Syndicate failed. But many perils await them in “The Zone”. From disease-bearing mosquitos and intractable terrain, to labor problems and lethal accidents, the Panamanian jungle will not be tamed without a fight.    SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

After the French project to build a canal through Panama collapses in 1889 amidst disease and financial scandal, US President Teddy Roosevelt resolves to pick up where they left off. However, powerful interests in Washington are aggressively lobbying for a different route – not through Panama, but Nicaragua. As debate rages and backdoor deals are made, Panama becomes a lightning rod for controversy…and revolution.    SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

BARD annotation The Harvey girls DB132858 Author: Fay, Juliette Reading Time: 11 hours, 51 minutes Read by: Cassandra Campbell Subjects: Historical Fiction, General Fiction “1926: Charlotte Crowninshield was born into one of the finest Boston society families. Now she’s on the run from a brutal husband, desperate to disappear into the wilds of the Southwest. Billie MacTavish is the oldest of nine children born to Scottish immigrants in Nebraska. She quit school in the sixth grade to help with her mother’s washing and mending business, but even that isn’t enough to keep the family afloat. Desperate, both women join the ranks of the Harvey Girls, waitresses who serve in America’s first hospitality chain on the Santa Fe railroad. Hired on the same day, they share three things: a room, a heartfelt dislike of each other … and each has a secret that will certainly get them fired. Through twelve-hour days of training in Topeka, Kansas, they learn the fine art of service, perfecting their skills despite bouts of homesickness, fear of being discovered, and a run-in with the KKK. When they’re sent to work at the luxurious El Tovar hotel at the Grand Canyon, the challenges only grow, as Billie struggles to hide her young age from would-be suitors, and Charlotte discovers the little-known dark side of the national park’s history.” — From publisher.

In August of 1914, the United States of America completed a man-made waterway through the Panamanian isthmus, linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for the first time in history. But that engineering triumph was the culmination of decades of toil, conflict and death. In this first episode of a multi-part series on the Panama Canal, we trace the origins of its construction, beginning with the doomed French attempt and its tragic protagonist, Ferdinand de Lesseps.      SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

The BARD annotation follows: My friends DB129483 Author: Backman, Fredrik Reading Time: 13 hours, 9 minutes Read by: Ireland, Marin Subjects: General Fiction, Friendship Fiction “Most people don’t even notice them–three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love. Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa’s care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about what she’ll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art.”– From publisher. Unrated.

Everyone should be in a band at some point—and Finneas and Ashe prove why. The Grammy-winning producer and rising singer-songwriter discuss how their friendship evolved into The Favors, a new band debuting their album The Dream on September 19th, 2025. We explore what it means to create as a band, how stepping back from confessional songwriting freed them creatively, and why sometimes the best way forward is embracing older ways of making music.

In this special episode, we tackle the second half of the 1963 epic, Cleopatra.In the first part of this double-header, we tried to keep our focus on Cleopatra and Caesar and the initial challenges faced by #TeamCleo. However, today we get to delve into the second half of the movie when Cleopatra and Antony get it on. This means we finally get to discuss ‘Le Scandale', aka the Taylor-Burton affair that developed on the set once these two clapped eyes on each other. Their passion would result in two broken hearts, a publicity sensation and not one, but TWO, marriages (and divorces).Cleopatra (1963) is a classic example of how the context of a film can shape how the history was received. It's hard not to see some weird parallels between Taylor & Burton and Cleopatra & Antony. We need to work on some couple names before this gets too confusing. Cleotony? Antra? Tayton? Burtay? We'll keep workshopping these ideas. Things to listen out for:· Unexpected feline births· The casting couch makes an unwelcome appearance· Studio coups· Editing wars· Broken hearts (#JusticeforSybil&Eddie)· Odd similarities with the production of Spartacus· MORE production problems than you can every imagine!One thing we have concluded after three hours of discussion: don't start shooting a movie without a finished script.If you enjoyed this discussion, you might be interested in checking out The Plot Thickens, who are doing a whole season on Cleopatra (1963).Our SourcesDrs G and Dr Rad discuss ancient sources such as Florus, Cicero, Appian, and of course, Plutarch's Life of Antony.Brodsky, Jack, and Nathan Weiss.

The right has waged a war on “woke” Sesame Street for generations. When the party passed the 2025 Recissions Act, they were finally able to take a significant field advantage in this battle—one which Big Bird and Mr Snuffleupagus never wanted to be in. That bill stripped $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, greatly damaging NPR, PBS, and mostly their member stations. The CPB announced it will have to close in January 2026. What will take its place? Well, the right has a plan for that, or so Vox speculates: PragerU. Founded in 2009 as a right-wing alternative to reality, the sprawling, well-funded network teaches kids to hate DEI, love paying taxes, and recognize that the Bible offers the only salvation on this planet. Could it replace Sesame Street, however? Well, it's already in use in numerous classrooms—and the right wants it in all of them. Show Notes The White House has a preferred alternative to PBS.

Vem var Bruce Springsteen innan arenorna, innan myten, innan han blev “The Boss”? I det här avsnittet kartlägger vi livet som format honom – från småstadens grå kanter till ett kompromisslöst sökande efter mening i musiken.

Vem var Bruce Springsteen innan arenorna, innan myten, innan han blev “The Boss”? I det här avsnittet kartlägger vi livet som format honom – från småstadens grå kanter till ett kompromisslöst sökande efter mening i musiken. Vi dyker ner i barndomens slitningar, de rastlösa åren i Asbury Parks musikscen, karriärens uppgångar och bakslag, och de val som skapat Bruce både som artist och människa.Musikpodden finns även på:Instagram: Musik_poddenSpotify: Musikpodden med Arvid BranderApple podcast: Musikpodden med Arvid BranderKontakt: podcastarvid@gmail.comKällor:Springsteen, B.

„Voliči seznají, že systém selhal, a začnou se rozhlížet po silném muži – po někom, kdo je ochoten je ujistit, že po jeho zvolení už nebudou rozhodovat samolibí úředníci, úskoční právníci, přeplacení prodejci dluhopisů a postmoderní profesoři,“ napsal americký filozof Richard Rorty roku 1998. Když byl poprvé zvolen Donald Trump prezidentem, mnozí měli za to, že jeho nástup předpověděl. Ale co když tradice, k níž patří Richard Rorty, Trumpa přímo vyprovokovala? Rorty je řazen mezi pragmatiky. To je filozofická tradice, která – stejně jako odpovídající světonázor – vychází z toho, že si člověk nemá příliš vymýšlet a spíše si hledět, aby se žilo. Taková filozofie není žádné teoretizování, ale snaha o projasnění jednání. Že pragmatismus vznikl právě v Americe, může být i historicky ovlivněné. Američané neměli čas na řecké teoretizování. Zatímco antičtí Řekové mohli opovrhovat prací, kterou za ně udělali otroci a oni se aristokraticky vypínali k pravdě samé, Američané budovali společnost, práci oslavovali a nacházeli v ní i pravdu. Pragmatismus však nezačíná s Richardem Rortym. Jedním ze zakládajících myslitelů této tradice je William James, který ani nebyl především filozof. Přesto tento psycholog a vystudovaný lékař způsobil gentlemanské filozofické tradici šok. Pravdivé je prý to, co funguje; to, co rozvíjí mou zkušenost. Tato koncepce byla podnětná a vlivná, ale má to také svou odvrácenou stránku. Není pak pravda skutečně volnou zábavou? Neodjela na dovolenou, jak říká – pochvalně – Richard Rorty? Asi ano, přikyvují pragmatisté. Ale co když pravda už holt taková je? Možná zrovna někde relaxuje – a i my se máme uvolnit. Kapitoly I. Americká filozofie: Žádná věda! Jen život.

We will be discussing the book Master slave husband wife: an epic journey from slavery to freedom DB112758 by Ilyon Woo. NLS Annotation Master slave husband wife: an epic journey from slavery to freedom DB112758 Author: Woo, Ilyon Reading Time: 12 hours, 59 minutes Read by: Janina Edwards, Leon Nixon Subjects: Bestsellers, Biography, U.S. History, African American Topics “The remarkable true story of Ellen and William Craft, who escaped slavery through daring, determination, and disguise, with Ellen passing as a wealthy, disabled White man and William posing as “his” slave. In 1848, a year of international democratic revolt, a young, enslaved couple, Ellen and William Craft, achieved one of the boldest feats of self-emancipation in American history. Posing as master and slave, while sustained by their love as husband and wife, they made their escape together across more than 1,000 miles, riding out in the open on steamboats, carriages, and trains that took them from bondage in Georgia to the free states of the North. Along the way, they dodged slave traders, military officers, and even friends of their enslavers, who might have revealed their true identities. The tale of their adventure soon made them celebrities, and generated headlines around the country. Americans could not get enough of this charismatic young couple, who traveled another 1,000 miles criss-crossing New England, drawing thunderous applause as they spoke alongside some of the greatest abolitionist luminaries of the day—among them Frederick Douglass and William Wells Brown. But even then, they were not out of danger. With the passage of an infamous new Fugitive Slave Act in 1850, all Americans became accountable for returning refugees like the Crafts to slavery. Then yet another adventure began, as slave hunters came up from Georgia, forcing the Crafts to flee once again—this time from the United States, their lives and thousands more on the line and the stakes never higher. With three epic journeys compressed into one monumental bid for freedom, Master Slave Husband Wife is an American love story—one that would challenge the nation's core precepts of life, liberty, and justice for all—one that challenges us even now.” — Provided by publisher.

In his final days, Adolf Hitler wallowed in self pity, sent children into war, and held tea parties into the wee hours of the morning. He also threw himself a birthday party. The guest list was a real who's who of Most Evil Humans! Ultimately, Hitler decided to take his ball and go home. (And by that, we of course mean that he shot himself and went to hell.)

The History Channel's “Hunting Hitler” poses really stupid, already answered questions about the death of Adolf Hitler. Normie C is having none of it! In this series, Norm will cover Adolf Hitler's final days, his suicide, and finally, Norm will address the conspiracy theories that Hitler made it out of that bunker alive. In this episode, we learn about Hitler's smorgasbord of medications, his legendary farts, and his firm belief that everyone thought he was super hot.

Many Christians have noticed that ‘PRIDE month' is more subdued this year. While this is good, we also need to be careful. Our goal is to see God's law instituted throughout all of society, not just to make things a little less ghey. Many who uphold portions of God's law, such as ‘thou shalt not murder', cringe when they read God's prohibition and punishment of Sodomy. The reality, though, is that God is good and loving in everything that He does, and his laws about homosexuality are both righteous and they protect society from great harm.

There is not much I enjoy more than sitting down with one of the innovative thinkers in compliance, Carsten Tams to find out what is on his mind regarding compliance. I recently had the opportunity to do so on the topic of making compliance training memorable. Over this short five-part series we will introduce the problem and challenges and then provide you with four proven strategies for success in your compliance training. In this Episode 3, we discuss the concept of experiential learning as a gamechanger to enhance overall learning scope, motivation, retention and transfer; emphasizing its importance over conventional learning methods. Experiential learning means learning by doing. When we are passive learners in front of a screen, clicking on the forward button or checking boxes, learning remains shallow. Experiential ethics learning is not simply about feeding abstract information about an ethics topic into learners' minds. It is instead about the tight coupling of thinking with doing. An experiential learning activity is about posing a problem that is relevant to the learner. It is then up to the learner to tap into their existing knowledge, to use their ingenuity and creative problem-solving skills to find a feasible solution for the problem at hand.   Using practical examples, Carsten explains how experiential learning engages learners in problem-solving and hands-on experiences, leading to better retention and application of knowledge. They explore the historical roots of the concept, drawing from thinkers like Aristotle, Confucius, John Dewey, and modern cognitive research. The discussion also covers ways to implement experiential learning in organizational settings, addressing potential concerns about documenting these methods for regulatory compliance. Highlights and Key Issues Discussed  ·      Introduction to Experiential Learning in Compliance and Ethics Training ·      Exploring the Basics of Experiential Learning ·      Applying Experiential Learning in Compliance and Ethics ·      Historical Context and Theoretical Foundations of Experiential Learning ·      Practical Implementation and Documentation for Compliance Professionals  Resources Carsten Tams on LinkedIn Emagence Consulting For Additional Reading ·      Dewey, J.

Few people have shaped the twentieth century's understanding of Christianity more than its opponent, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), and its advocate C. S. Lewis (1898-1964). Lewis, an adult convert from atheism, made his career as an Oxford don, but became well-known as a Christian apologist. Freud developed a revolutionary psychological theory (psychoanalysis), which established his career, started a movement, and ensured his titanic influence on Western thought. But he employed that theory against religion in general and Christianity in particular, dismissing them as neurotic. In 2003, Armand Nicholi published The Question of God. C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life. Alas, the film does not reach its level of fairness or rigor. Freud's case against Lewis hinges on two claims: (1) that religion is an illusion) and (2) the problem of evil. Religion is merely wish-fulfillment that represents one's inability to face the evils of life without some supernatural consolation. First, the idea that Christianity is an “illusion” because it merely projects an idealistic idea of a father onto a godless universe has been refuted repeatedly. Simply because we desire X strongly is no evidence that X does not exist. Rather, it might be evidence that X does exist. In the film, Lewis is not given adequate room to develop the idea. C. S. Lewis developed his argument from yearning in his famous essay “The Weight of Glory.” We all experience a deep sense of yearning or longing for something that the present natural world cannot fulfill—something transcendently glorious. In his autobiography he recounts several experiences of this throughout his life, in which he sensed something wonderful beyond his grasp. These were fleeting but invaluable moments, which he called the experience of “joy.” They were not encounters with God and did not directly result in his conversion. Instead, they were indicators that the everyday world was not a self-enclosed system; a light from beyond would sometimes peek through the “shadow lands.” This thirst, which is intensified by small tastes of transcendence, indicates the possibility of fulfillment.[i] Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger; well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim; well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire; well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my early pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly desires were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing.[ii] Second, Freud's attack on Christianity through the problem of evil has been met in various ways by Christian philosophers and apologists over the ages. Lewis's approach in the film was muted, but a careful reading of The Problem of Pain does much to address the matter rationally, although I part ways with Lewis understanding of “free will,” given that I am a compatibilist on human agency—something he did not even consider as a possibility.[iii] Nevertheless, a basic argument for Christianity in light of the problem of evil should look something like this. One can construct such an argument by using material only from Lewis, but his can be supplemented by many other sources.[iv] There is good evidence for the existence of a personal, moral, and infinite God from natural theology—a God who is (a) all-good and (b) all-powerful. God's goodness, specifically, is known through the moral argument for God (a version of which Lewis gave in Mere Christianity) and through God's saving actions in Jesus Christ (the historical dimension). There is objective evil in the world. Therefore (given 1 and 2), for any evil God allows, there is a sufficient reason for that evil to occur—whether we know what that reason is or not.[v] Freud's projection objection to theism fails, not only in its intrinsic logic, but because of the objective case for God's existence based on evidence outside of human desires. [i] This paragraph is taken from Groothuis, Douglas. Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (pp. 367-368). InterVarsity Press. Kindle Edition. [ii] C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1944; reprint, New York: Simon & Schuster, 1996), 121. I develop this idea, with help from St. Augustine and Blaise Pascal, in Groothuis, Christian Apologetics, 366-368. [iii] See Groothuis, Christian Apologetics, “The Problem of Evil.” [iv] See Groothuis, Christian Apologetics. [v] Thus, an inexplicable evil is not a gratuitous or meaningless evil.

"He [Bernays] proposed to his uncle that he'd do a translation of this book that had been given to him and Freud, perhaps without thinking too much about it,  approved the idea.  Bernays went about hiring a translator who was a psychology Ph.D. student that he found at Columbia University and he got Stanley Hall to write an introduction for what was published in 1920 as ‘A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis'. Now, shortly after this happened,  Freud had second thoughts about authorizing Bernays to translate his lectures, particularly as he had been working with his trusted colleague Ernest Jones on translations.  But by the time Freud wired Bernays to try to stop this publication, Bernays said that it was already too late and that the advertisements had already been placed and the publication was proceeding. Bernays assured Freud that it would be all right and he also assured him that he would get fame and glory and also substantial recompense for the publication. Freud was not too happy about this, nor was Ernest Jones, and when they finally  received the translation that Bernays had done they were particularly upset."    Episode Description: We begin by describing the complicated bloodline between Freud and Edward Bernays - Bernays' mother was Freud's sister, and his father was the brother of Freud's wife. We then consider Bernays' role as the founder of the field of public relations. This has led many to inaccurately see him as a manipulator of the masses through the use of his uncle's theories. In fact, Bernays served as the pro-bono literary agent for Freud's books in the US which contributed to his popularization and to providing vital financial support during the years of Austria's hyperinflation. We also discuss Bernays' role in the American pro-democracy movement, which was designed to counter the influence of Nazi propaganda in the years before WWII. We close with Joseph's describing his interest in this subject and his wish to "set the record straight" about Edward Bernays.   Our Guest: Joseph Malherek is a historian who holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He was the Junior Botstiber Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Central European University, and he has been a Fulbright Visiting Professor of Austrian-American Studies at the University of Vienna. He has published widely on the topics of transatlantic migration, twentieth-century intellectual history, and the history of capitalism and consumer culture. His book, Free-Market Socialists: European Émigrés Who Made Capitalist Culture in America, 1918–1968, was recently published by Central European University Press.   Linked Paper: https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/pah.2023.0452?journalCode=pah   Recommended Readings: Freud's American Nephew: Edward Bernays and the Selling of Psychoanalysis.  Psychoanalysis and History 25, no. 1 (2023): 59–78.   Bernays, Edward L.

Join Sara and Jenn in the fourth episode of Beyond the Black Box as they delve into the question of whether errorless learning can be harmful. Drawing on real-life experiences from learners, other pedagogical frameworks, and scientific literature regarding learning across species, the hosts reveal surprising insights about the potential for harm in errorless learning, and the benefits of engaging with errors in constructive ways. They look beyond the false dichotomy of either/or thinking pitting errorless learning against trial-and-error, to explore alternative learning theories that can help us achieve the desired benefits without the potential pitfalls.

In this episode, we'll look at using assertive communication in when it's our turn to state our views, needs, feelings, and opinions in conflict. We'll discuss how Jesus was assertive, what it means to be assertive, and some myths and truths associated with this type of communication. We'll analyze the payoffs and penalties to each of the 3 main communication styles: Submissive, assertive, aggressive. We'll examine what's in it for me (WIIFM) and break down steps to form a solid assertive statement. We'll look at when this type of communication can come in handy beyond conflict resolution and answer some commonly asked questions about assertive communication. Works Cited Bolton, R. P. (1979).

Leaders are the first ones people look to for answers in times of hardship and crisis, but they are also the first ones to be blamed. But if the problems of the organization aren't fixed or are actually made worse by the executive level, how can the leaders and employees below them help turn the organization around? Application: Part 1: Work for positive change through the domains of impact: Self - Put the oxygen mask on yourself: lead in the domain of self by putting the oxygen mask on yourself. Remind yourself that your identity, purpose, and skills are bigger than your current title or paycheck. Learn how to zoom out and reframe your thoughts among the chaotic situations so that you are able to respond and not react with big emotions or actions. And Finally wash off the work day before going home and engaging with your family. Relationships - Put the oxygen mask on others: lead in the domain of relationships by helping others put on their oxygen masks. Provide support for your team by creating a format or platform to safely share their frustrations. Empathically listen and encourage your fellow team members. And when the time is right, use the opportunity to coach them in leadership so they can in turn help others with their oxygen masks. And remember the three warnings: Don't feel the need to own or solve the problem in the moment, structure the support so it doesn't take more time than it needs, and always speak in such a way that WHEN your words are repeated you are not ashamed of them.

It's about being intentional in growing the leadership capacities of others by spending time teaching leadership, modeling leadership, and coaching for leadership. Application: There are three entry points into being intentional in growing leaders: Spending Time: Be sure to schedule time to build relationships with emerging leaders to teach and discuss leadership skills. Modeling: As a leader you are always in the spotlight of what is expected and tolerated as a leader…so practice what you preach about leadership and model it always. Coaching: Walk others through scenarios and situations that they'll experience in real life leadership. The phases for coaching are: trust in the relationship, observations of you leading apprenticeship where they lead and you provide specific feedback, mentorship, where you are their “go to” for wisdom, guidance, and support.

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Muerte de Juan Gabriel) Cuando triunfó, se acordó de su niñez y realizó un gran proyecto con el que satisfaría el deseo que tenía de ayudar a niños necesitados que quisieran ser músicos. «Yo... [sentí]... la necesidad de fundar un albergue para niños pobres porque... fui uno de ellos—explicó—. No tenía la obligación de hacerlo... pero quise tenerla porque fui un niño interno, y porque la niñez es lo mejor que tenemos y... la mejor inversión de la vida.» De ahí que en septiembre de 1987 se inaugurara aquel albergue para niños, que llegó a conocerse como la escuela de Juan Gabriel, que es el nombre artístico del cantautor mexicano Alberto Aguilera Valadez. La primera directora que tuvo la escuela fue la maestra Micaela Alvarado, quien dirigió el internado allí mismo en Ciudad Juárez, donde vivió Alberto cuando era niño. El sostenimiento y mantenimiento del nuevo albergue corrió por cuenta de Alberto Aguilera. En su discurso de inauguración, Juan Gabriel dijo: «A todos los humanos nos ha sido señalado un destino para cumplirlo, de preferencia fielmente, y no podemos cambiarlo, prescindir de él o deformarlo; el hombre puede negarse a realizarlo, pero entonces su vida carecerá de autenticidad, siendo así infiel a sí mismo. »Si mi destino ha sido componer música, hacer canciones y cantarlas, yo creo estar cumpliendo con el destino que me fue asignado, y lo hago con todo gusto y satisfacción porque ha sido una actividad de mi preferencia y dedicación. »Es por eso que, tomando conciencia y situándome en la realidad en que vivo, ha sido mi deseo contribuir en algo para ayudar a mis semejantes, sobre todo a la niñez y a la juventud, para lograr en ellos la idea precisa que les conduzca a encontrar su destino y cumplir con él. Pues es necesario no olvidar que en las manos de los niños y jóvenes de ahora está más tarde el destino del país donde nacieron.... »Orientemos a nuestra niñez a fin de lograr un mundo mejor donde vivir [y] de mantenernos alejados de la maldad y la violencia, común denominador del mundo actual.... A diario nos llegan noticias... de tragedias que han sumido a la humanidad en un caos completo, en una lucha fratricida que amenaza la paz del mundo.... »Hago entrega, pues, de ese sueño realizado... con el orgullo y la satisfacción de haber cumplido con un compromiso que me tracé en beneficio de la tierra que me dio abrigo. Pues, antes que michoacano o chihuahuense, soy profundamente mexicano. Un mexicano que ama y respeta a su patria, y que desea su progreso y su bienestar.»1 ¡Qué bueno que Juan Gabriel decidiera erigir esa importante obra de generosidad y de valor humano! ¡Y qué bien que nos haya dejado tan sentidas palabras de recuerdo con las que demostró el amor que tenía en lo más profundo del corazón! Es que, según Juan el apóstol, el que de veras ama entrega hasta la vida por sus hermanos, tal como lo hizo Jesucristo por nosotros. «Si alguien que posee bienes materiales ve que su hermano está pasando necesidad, y no tiene compasión de él, ¿cómo se puede decir que el amor de Dios habita en él?», pregunta San Juan. Y concluye con esta exhortación: «Queridos hijos, no amemos de palabra ni de labios para afuera, sino con hechos y de verdad.»2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Eduardo Magallanes, Querido Alberto: Biografía autorizada de Juan Gabriel (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1995), pp. 191-97. 2 1Jn 3:16-18

The aim of Transactional Analysis is social control, whereby one retains control of themselves despite others who may be consciously or unconsciously attempting to trigger emotions or moralistic beliefs. (Berne, 1961; p. 91) Transactional Analysis deals with what actually happens (interpersonally) rather than just what is going on in the minds of the individuals concerned, i.e., bird's eye view (Berne, 1963; p. 143). Transactional Analysis “provides a system for awareness of and control of the unconscious and automatic in a person's behavior.” (Childs-Gowell, 1979; p. 204) References: Berne, E. (1961).

While the domains of impact are not created equal in their projected influence, they are definitely linked so that one cascades into the next. As the leader's influence moves between each domain, it scales (or is extended) in audience size. This impact can be positive or negative, but each domain will determine the greater level of impact. The five domains of impact are: Self Relationships Culture Organization Community The Self: Our first domain of impact is often the hardest one because it requires the most work. In our fountain of influence for positive impact, the self is the perpetual pump that keeps our fountain of influence and leadership flowing. If you've ever seen a fountain, you know that the pump is what makes it work. Relationships: We need deep meaningful relationships with others to mentally survive just like we need our bodies to physically survive. And, just like our bodies, our relationships can become healthier when we are more conscious of what we put into them. So The second domain of impact is RELATIONSHIP or how we connect with one another. Without positive relationships there is no way you can make a positive impact on a culture, organization, or a community. Because guess what cultures, organizations, and communities are made of…People. Culture: Culture is the collective behaviors, common language, stories, traditions, and celebrations within your group of people. Or as Seth Godin says “people like us do things like this.” And as Peter Drucker says “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” So in essence there is no point to strategy if you don't have the right culture to implement it with fidelity. To make a positive impact on an organization you must have built a great culture among the people at work first. Once the positive culture is established, the work group as a whole will display readiness for excellence in implementing systems and processes for results, collaboration, and innovation. Organization: Work on the business, not in the business. Successful organizations run because they have efficient and effective systems. However, organizations must remember that they don't simply manage people, you lead people and you must manage the system by which your organization achieves its objectives. The system produces the results; your people manage the system. Community: A community is…at its most simple of definitions a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common. A community is larger than just one organization, it is made up of several…and all where organizations work together to support common local causes. Making a positive impact within the community requires the most generosity of your time, talents, and budget. It requires that the self, relationships, culture, and organization think and serve beyond itself. APPLICATION: The Self: Develop a strong foundation in your IDENTITY and PURPOSE. Know who you are, what you believe, and what your life's purpose is. Be intentional in growing your emotional intelligence, or the ability to identify and manage your emotions. Growing in your emotional intelligence means you have self-awareness and self regulation. Having a high emotional intelligence is like having your own personal pause button so you can respond instead of react. Do not be self focused, but be humble. Know that “IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU!” In summary, As if leadership wasn't hard enough, the reality in the HOW of making a positive impact…step one must always start with the self. And the ultimate goal in the SELF DOMAIN is to know the self, to grow the self, but not to focus on the self. Relationships: Always Lean in and turn towards - When people make bids for connection they are seeking attention, affirmation, affection, or any other positive connection. Acknowledge their bid for connection and turn towards (do not turn away or turn against). Learn how to resolve conflict - To make a positive impact on relationships you have got to know how to navigate the turbulent waters of conflict between yourself and others and conflict between people to people. Don't tell yourself stories to fill in the gaps of missing information. Go to episode 10 to learn more about conflict resolution skills using the AC/DC method Culture: Define the line - establish a clear identity of who the group is, what value, and how they behave or interact with each other Coach the line - always model what you expect of others and provide positive reinforcement for those displaying the cultural behaviors expected Defend the line - hold people accountable to the expectations of the cultural norm Organization: First, Work on the business, not just in the business Second Create systems and processes that outlast the people currently in that role (and that includes your role as well) Community: Smaller piece to a bigger puzzle - Realize that your organization is a much smaller piece to the bigger puzzle of society. Find other organizations to partner with to support common causes within the community Model service and invite your employees to serve in the local community REFERENCES: Godin, Seth. (2018).

Why? Because to truly grow into a better leader, spouse, parent, family member, or friend, we have to pull back the curtains on how we engage with the world and realize that “we ain't all that plus a bag of chips.” If we don't start with understanding ourselves and how we how see the world and think about the experiences we have then we will continue to trick ourselves into believing that the world revolves around us and our point of view. Summary: How we see the world (our paradigm) and how we think about it (our mindset) has everything to do with how we experience life…and yours? Well, yours just might be getting in your way from finding joy and contentment at work and at home. Our paradigm is the way we “see” the world, or our frame of reference for how we interpret situations, people, and the world in general. Depending on how our paradigms are "tilted" or the assumptions we have been conditioned to, we can all have very different paradigms for how we see the world and the people in it. Mindset is the way your mind is set to think about things. Somewhere along the way our thinking led us to a story, and that story has caused deep ruts in our roads of thinking. And the thing is, we've been listening to stories and telling ourselves stories our whole lives. We become stuck in how we think about ourselves or the world around us; which in turn affects how we think about many other things we experience. There are four popular "settings" for mindset: Fixed vs Growth (Reference Carol Dweck, P.h.D) Scarcity vs Abundance (Reference Stephen R. Covey) Application You can't change other people so all positive change must start with you and you alone. Focus on self awareness so you come to understand how the obstacles you are currently facing affects your overall motivations, beliefs, thoughts, communication, and actions in overcoming those obstacles. The more you recognize and reflect on your "seeing and thinking" habits and the stories you tell yourself, you can become more able to slow your thinking and adjust the settings. When it comes to paradigm and building assumptions, you need to always be looking for clarity by seeking to understand the other person's point of view. You must understand that your paradigm is not always right. Now when it comes to mindset, you need to slow your thinking, stop the spiral of thoughts, and adjust your settings. You can in fact turn the mindset dial to that of growth and abundance. References: Covey, S. R. (1989). The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Restoring the character ethic.

This episode discusses the process of identifying an issue, developing a campaign to address that issue, and the kinds of public action a successful campaign involves.  How organizing develops and conducts campaigns is different to how many other kinds of campaign are run, whether that be an election campaign or an advertising campaign. To discuss with me the distinctive approach to campaigns and how they constitute a form of public action that not only wins change, but also builds up a community better able to act for itself rather than simply be acted upon is Jonathan Lange and Janice Fine. The conversation with Jonathan and Janice focuses on the initiation, development, and then subsequent spread of the Living Wage Campaign, a campaign in which Jonathan played a key role and that Janice researched and wrote on extensively. The focus on the Living Wage Campaign, which originated in Baltimore, serves as a case study through which to stage a wider discussion of what campaigns are, how they develop creative policy proposals, and their broader role in organizing.GuestsJonathan Lange comes from what he describes an old fashioned Jewish socialist family. His grandfather and father were active union members. It was in the labor movement that he got his start, organizing with the Clothing and Textile Workers Union in the 1980s.  He then became a community organizer with the IAF and has since organized in both work based and place based forms of organizing for over 40 years. As we shall hear, he was the lead organizer of the first ever Living Wage Campaign. A key aspect of his work has been training other organizers and leaders around the world, particularly in the United Kingdom and Germany which is where I met him over 15 years ago now.Janice Fine is Professor of Labor Studies and Employment Relations at the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University. She is also the co-founder and Director of Research and Strategy at the Center for Innovation in Worker Organization (CIWO). Fine teaches and writes about forms of collective action among low-wage workers in the U.S including innovative union and community organizing strategies. She also studies historical and contemporary debates within labor movements regarding such issues as immigration policy, labor standards, privatization, and government oversight.  Much of this is addressed in her book Worker Centers: Organizing Communities at the Edge of the Dream. Prior to becoming an academic she worked as a community and labor organizer for over twenty years.Resources for Going DeeperCampaigns:Mike Gecan, “Part II: The Habit of Action,” Going Public: An Organizers Guide to Citizen Action (New York: Anchor Books, 2002), 49-126; Joan Minieri and Paul Getsos, “Part Three: Developing and Running Campaigns,” Tools for Radical Democracy: How to Organize for Power in Your Community (San Francisco: John Wiley & Son, 2007), 35-124; Luke Bretherton, Resurrecting Democracy: Faith, Citizenship and the Politics of a Common Life (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015), Chapters 4 & 5; Taylor Branch, “The Montgomery Bus Boycott,” Parting the Water: America in the King Years, 1954-63 (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1988), Chapter 5; Saul Alinsky, “They sit to conquer,” John L.
